You missed India and China- the two largest and oldest races in the world.

And Phillipines.

Japan.

Korea.

Australian.

But as Knot says, what's the relevance?

No relevance, just curiosity.

Aren't Australians considered caucasians? China, Phillipines, Korea, and Japan asain?

If I am wrong, I apologize for my ignorance and will change the poll.

You are very wrong. These countries, and perhaps dozens more, have very distinct ethnicities.

Calling Japanese "Asians" is like calling Brazilians "Americans".

actually I think it was brought up before, but it got shut down...
That tends to be one good thing about the net is that people can see through the ethnicity differences because well.. nobody can tell

Already starting to see this could get a little ugly? Shall I ask to close the poll?

What you have put in the poll is race, not ethnicity, ILC. Kinda like what you have to put on government forms.

And I agree it don't matter on the net - we are all net citizens, and race / age / color / missing body parts don't count here

IMO

Cheers
